CRE Risk Assessment

Purpose of This Document

This document attempts to present a rough comparison of vulnerabilities inherant in several common real estate control and/or acquisition methods used in the United States.

Introduction

People generally are familiar with the default method of acquiring and controlling real property, specifically, obtaining a loan for an agreed sale price of a property, presenting the property as collateral for the lender, and exchanging the currency for a clear title to the property.

However, people generally are at best only vaguely familiar with other means of acquiring and/or controlling real property.

The original idea for this came from material provided in the 2½ day seminar presented by North American Realty Services (NARS). I highly recommend this seminar regardless of whether you use any of the NARS systems. Assuming you're a minimally coöperative participant, it'll pack your brain full of information, challenge your assumptions about real estate, and entertain at the same time. As of this writing, it will only cost travel and meals, as the seminar is free.
